The Enid M. Baa Library of the Division of Libraries, Archives and Museums (DLAM) has acquired an extensive collection of memorial booklets since the early 1970's for U. S. Virgin Islands residents. Booklets are usually more than 10 pages long and give details of the life and family connections of the deceased.

Roy Alridge Martin was born on the island of St. Thomas
on June 11, 1934. He departed this life on October 3, 1980
at the age of 46. He devoted his life to churches and re-
spect for the human race. Although he had no children
of his own he was very fond of his nephews, nieces, and
other children. He was also a devoted brother and loved
by all his relatives. Roy lived a sick life for the past 40
years and because of his faith in God did not pass away
before.
We cannot think of him as dead, but as having passed on
